What we did – project, ouputs, scope Expectations What we found Implications for research and management The project = European Register of Marine Species EU part-funded project 22 partner organisations 170+ participating scientists 385,000 euro, 2 years communication with 42 organisations * Data management plan Intellectual Property Rights Agreement * Aim of external communications data exchange awareness of project invite end-user comments maximise synergy of effort, minimise overlap stimulate related activities foster collaboration promote use of results ERMS - outputs Web site providing results Book listing marine species * Register of 600 experts (in 37 countries) in European marine species identification Bibliography of 840 identification guides Gaps in identification expertise and guides, knowledge of species groups, and marine species collections New scientific society for the long term management of biodiversity data (intellectual property) Model and foundation for future projects (e.g. Fauna Europaea, BIOMARE, MARBEF) ERMS scope North Pole to 26oN Mid-Atlantic Ridge to Black Sea 0.5 ppt to deep-sea Excluded Saltmarshes Lichens, diatoms, cyanobacteria, bacteria Our expectations species – total 20,000 – 25,000 identification guides – decreasing adequacy with smaller body size taxa taxonomists - most 60-70 years of age collections – most in museums How ma
